@AbbieKamin The gentrification must be completed. Kidding…sort of

@AbbieKamin The city of Houston is broke.

@AbbieKamin Its not fiscally responsible to continue to spend tax dollars just to use it up. That money can be re-appropriated to a better use.

@AbbieKamin Thanks for this exchange! In his rebuttal the mayor said that 3 lanes is only a problem if the lanes are narrowed also. So let's take that compromise, increase each lane by 0.5ft to make them the same 11ft as currently exist and move forward.

@AbbieKamin I’m proud to have you as my representative! Keep fighting the good fight!

@AbbieKamin @JoshuaRMartin Thank you Abbie!

@AbbieKamin Hope the project can get finished. Thank you for standing up for this.

@AbbieKamin Just narrow the lanes but keep them 4. Also what's the source for the target claim

@AbbieKamin Thank god for the mayor

@AbbieKamin Thank you @AbbieKamin for fighting for us, for our neighborhood, and our safety!

@AbbieKamin Thank you for fighting for everyone who supports the project. I really don’t see what reason there is to pause this and I don’t think the mayor can keep making up/hiding the reasons to stop it.

@AbbieKamin Cause it’s a bad idea and leaving (borrowed) federal money on the table is the patriotic thing to do ..plus the city is broke

@AbbieKamin @isaiahrmartin Thank you!

@AbbieKamin Thank you so much for your continued efforts to move this much wanted project forward. Stopping it or changing it when it’s half way done is just absurd.

@AbbieKamin Very well said. This project is overwhelmingly supported, and the mayor is learning quickly he has no support in this fight. Hopefully the city can come to an agreement to trim down to 3 lanes and keep the project on schedule.

@AbbieKamin Longgg over due.

@AbbieKamin No. The project needs to be reviewed so we don't make mistakes like 11th St.

@AbbieKamin Thank you. Residents of Houston want improved, safe, beautiful roads that add to the city and make it walkable. This also increase the value (more property taxes) when higher density projects go in that residents like walk & bike to.

@AbbieKamin Whitmire peacocking that he rep’d the district for 50 years is ironic since he did zero to initiate the kind of infrastructure upgrades required for increased residential densification. As is his MO, he supports it when donors WERE Dems & opposes when his donors ARE Republicans.

@AbbieKamin This is the best redevelopment initiative the inner loop has undertaken since the Buffalo Bayou redevelopment. Abandonment of this long overdue city greening and pedestrian focused initiative shows a disappointing lack of vision and leadership from the Mayor’s office.
